Unable to loadLSST.bash on Mac about lsst-cvmfs HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Mike,

thanks for your feedback. I'm surprised by the error message you are observing. I confirm that you don't need to install Anaconda nor EUPS nor any other software package: each one of the versions of the LSST stack distributed via this mechanism is self consistent. This means that each version of the LSST stack uses the Python interpreter of the embedded Anaconda installation (which may vary for each version of the stack). It does not use the Python interpreter included in your operating system but the one shipped with Anaconda.

My guess is that there is in your environment a variable LSST_HOME which points to /Users/Mike/Astro/lsst. My suggestion is to open a new terminal session in which there is no environmental variables starting with LSST_* nor EUPS* and then do:

$ unset LSST_HOME
$ source /cvmfs/lsst.in2p3.fr/software/darwin-x86_64/lsst-v11.0/loadLSST.bash

After having successfully sourced loadLSST.bash you can know what version of Python you are using with the commands:

$ which python
/cvmfs/lsst.in2p3.fr/software/darwin-x86_64/lsst-v11.0/DarwinX86/anaconda/2.2.0/bin/python

$ python --version
Python 2.7.9 :: Anaconda 2.2.0 (64-bit)

Hope this helps,

Yes, you're right. Looks like I had that in my .bashrc from some old attempt to get the LSST stack installed on my machine. When I removed that (and restarted the terminal session) it worked properly. Thanks for your help.
